GameThread: Syracuse Orange (1-2, 0-1) vs. Western Michigan Broncos (2-1, 0-0)

The Syracuse Orange (1-2, 0-1) aren’t exactly in the shape we figured through three weeks of the season, but there are still plenty of opportunities to right the ship. Those chances start with the Western Michigan Broncos (2-1, 0-0), which recruits some of the top talent in the MAC and gave the Orange a little scare just last year in Kalamazoo. Hopefully this year’s matchup is far less stressful, but there are a lot of signs that point to a close contest.

SU and WMU kick off from the Carrier Dome at noon ET, or ACC Network/WatchESPN for those of us watching at home. Before things get going, though, here’s some pre-game reading for you to catch up on.
